not really, one promotes higher hp (h-pipe) the other promotes higher torque (x-pipe) but like 3-4 hp difference, nothing to be concerned about...the h-pipe has been catagorized as having a deeper more muscular sound and the x-pipe has more of a raspier growl

Yep, the H-pipe retains what I like to call the classic Mustang muscle tone. The X-pipe changes the tone and makes it more exotic. I had the X-pipe and honestly wished I had gone with the MRT H-pipe. I just prefer the sound of the H-pipe. Performance wise they're a washout IMO. It should more boil down to the sound/tone you prefer.

yeah i'm accually in the same boat. I got a catted x pipe from magnaflow because it was half the price as the MRT h but i do like the h sound ALOT more. I wish i had gone with the MRT but, my budget didn't allow it so i went with the catted x pipe and i'm happy with it. If i were to go o/r though i would go H.
